    I had a few issues with the boost pipes!..constantly blowing off!..we eventually solved it..welding a few little nipples around the edges of the pipes for the silicone pipe to grip and putting double circlips all round…

    We are near Wakefield in West Yorkshire which is a far old treck but he is very reasonable on prices and could be worth a tank of fuel?..get some quotes from your side then give him a call..you may be surprised?..

    No worries..I hope this thread helps you in your journey…I started modding mine around 5 years ago and there was very little in the way of information or advice!..I basically went at it blind but have ended up with a very very capable car that shocks all those that come up against it!..lol..

    Yes..it’s a direct fit but I have my car mapped on the rolling road..non of that laptop rubbish!..I’m not sure if you will have to have the car remapped to take full advantage of the new map sensor?…

    You won’t find a bigger map sensor than 3.1 bar..I’m running over 28psi of boost and my map sensor is 3.1 bar and it’s more than adequate…the map sensor is actually for a 1.6 Fiesta TDC…look through this string and it will tell you w to get one from..

    Non whatsoever!…just replaced an engine mount with a standard one. Was thinking of polly bushing but was advised not to bother as they can make the suspension a bit harsh…
